the circular light in his chest is pulsing a little faster than usual!Raven.
>dorothy I don't think we're in kansas anymore-
Ah...the air feels...strange, no?
Oh! Nova! It's nice to see a familiar face!
Nova?
>Worried! Immediately!
It's... a little strange....
I'm fine. Let's just, figure out where we are.
>he is nOT FINE.....Are you?
>Gran is going to look around and.....
You don't gotta pretend...though we probably should figure out where we are, cuz' I've got no idea.
Oh.
>There's a giant.... robot.......
> He swallows down the nerves in his throat. Focus, Cronwell.
I'm fine. I'm not pretending, let's just focus. Please.Oui, it's less fresh than I'm used to on the deck.
>He's looking around at the crowd, the surroundings. A little relieved to see Gran too, and he wanders to look at the various gadgets.
What could possibly be the purpose of such a place, do you think?
Research, no doubt.
...Fine.
10:31 PM
>With that, He begins standing around, waiting as if he's expecting something.Well...alright then.
10:31 PM
Probably something to do with these big ol' mechs and stuff...Don't think I've ever seen anything like them.
It does bear a good resemblance to some research buildings I've come across in my travels....
10:32 PM
....
Of the...mechanical sort perhaps? But to such a scale...
>Read: He didn't miss the giant robot either.
Maybe....
10:32 PM
>Don't mind him he's also gonna just...
...
> now he feels bad. thanks owen. >:(
It's... similar to some things I've seen before.Eltrion.
10:32 PM
...King Nasod, also.
> his left hand flexes involuntarily. sadly it's VERY LOUD so it's hard to miss.....Hmmmmm...
>Don't mind him, he's now going over to one of the computers, trying to make sense of what he's seeing.
-!!
...
10:34 PM
Are you sure you're alright?
It's genuine, unchallenging.>Yeah he's. He's turning to look at Nova again worriedly.
... I don't have much of a choice.
>he rolls his shoulder, and throws his left arm to the side. the vents pop open with the motion, only to close again moments later. shaking off his nerves, or. an attempt at it, at least.
im mechanical if you know what i mean

>The computer screens aren't quite catching his attention, but the other rooms are.
A good start too I think is knowing our surroundings.
>He is glancing over to Gran, a raised brow.
Ah, have you found anything interesting, Gran?
That's...
>He's frowning so much :(
>thankfully tama is not nearly big enough to worry him.

What a weird place.
It is, isn't it. No sign of any exits either.
Ah, guess you had the same idea, too...
10:49 PM
>He lets out a sigh.
need some help, handsomes?
> what is she even offering to do she's 3 inches tall
Oh! Hello there.
10:50 PM
>...She is three inches tall.
10:50 PM
Um, not entirely, no. Just commenting on how weird this place is...
10:50 PM
...
10:51 PM
And also the air sucks here.
maybe i can get a little airflow going? what good is a computer if i can't hack?
I can only wonder what the point of bringing us here could be.
>Oh! Small.
Ah, salut mademoiselle~ It is quite....stale, I can't help but think it smells off. If you can assist, ahh~ That may help somewhat.
>Gran nods his head, smiling.
That'd be a great help!
10:52 PM
It's too stale for my liking.
> cute head tilt
mademoiselle...?
>He also tilts his head
Oui, it makes it hard to think when it's such a focus.
>He's raising a brow.
Yes?
nothing, i just thought...yknow... tigresse was more what you wanted to call me these days. but if you need another demonstration im happy to help~
>He squints--- but only for a moment. The smile is back.
Oh-- haha, right. You did call her tigresses, didn't you, Lobelia...?
oh gran, i would be happy to let you watch, no need to feel left out!
I did, but even a powerful tigresse can be a beautiful woman, no?
>He's laughing just a little, rolling his shoulders.
Well, I certainly would never say no to such an offer if you're willing to...take the lead.
mmm...leads, huh? is that what you want to play with this time around~? don't worry, im sure i can tame that savage beast in your pants just aching to be let loose~
>His grin grows just a little at her teasing, chuckling.
You wish to remind me, no? Though perhaps in a more...favorable enviroment. There's still much to know about where we are, after all.l
that's true! i can hack the computers that are...still able to be accessed and see what i can find out.
Oh, great!
It's certainly a more proactive approach than kicking it as the others have, to be sure.
Mhm!
but hey if you're into kicking i can definitely do that for you 
Ah, you've a clever mind as always~

>something felt very wrong nearing the end of the night, quickly running to find a very specific person he's been hanging around.
HOSHI!?
>and just as quickly as he makes it to a trail of blood, following it with a feeling of dread and emptiness in his heart before finding a familiar leg and then--
>he quickly runs over, kneeling right by his beloved's head, tears finally falling as a loud painful sob escapes him as he meets his forehead with the other's own. 4>And he thought the sight of the first room was bad enough, this seemed just as vicious.
So they struck twice overnight? Ah...I recall seeing you with him. My sympathies...to think who ever did this could be so cruel...
Hoshi....Hoshi....
>a constant mumble repeating the others name, twinkling bright stars in his eyes having mostly faded.
>looking up at the new person in the room, through tear filled eyes he lets out a snarl showing large sharp teeth as he pulls the raen's cold body closer to him, one hand reaching for a dog tag hanging near the large au ra's chest.
3>He simply holds up his hands to show he's defenseless.
Ah, my apologies for startling you. It's just...it seems he is one of two we lost last night. I was merely offering my condolences.
Don't.
>he gives another warning, a strain in his sobs as he clenches the other's dog tag once he's able to remove it. a gentle kiss to his husband's damaged pearl being revealed middle of his forehead as the strands of hair are pushed away.
My star, my mate...I'm so sorry... >he whispers, voice cracking. 2
2>Say less, he will just...bow and head back to the other room.
>steps in carrying the other body. going to give Daisuke an empathetic look. he gets it. he understands. Seems the gods weren't out to just hurt him, last night.>Oh bahamut---
This is...
>A fucking mess.
>he's not doing good he's spent this entire time with hoshi's body on his lap as he cries.>He'd run into all of them as he was heading back to rejoin them, and makes a respectful motion for quiet with his hands.
It would seem our culprit is getting bolder, to go for two.
yep. can confirm. that is a dead body.
>It sure is...
>... he steps over, to the other side of Hoshi, and sets Owen down next to him. He says nothing, just. silently sits with Daisuke.>He tilts his head--- chin in hand now.
Huh......
An explosion?
>A glance.>He catches that glance immediately, gesturing to the.. well. Everything.
10:32 PM
I've met my fairshare of explosions, looks like we've got a demolision expert on our hands.
oh yeah blowing stuff up is always fun.
10:33 PM
the definition btw is make them boys go loco
…Only explosives expert I know of are monsters…
10:33 PM
or Ollie.
Oh, thank you?
10:33 PM
For the definition,
Ah, so it seems to be.
>He's looking over to the destroyed panel on the wall.
Though from the looks of the...robot, it doesn't seem to be involved.
huh? me?
>his eye look lifeless without the starry look, a hands running through the raen's hair while the other touches the wedding ring he has.
An explosion doesn't do this to someone's chest. >he quietly mumbles emotionless, pointing out hoshi's chest, despite refusing to let go......
10:34 PM
>He'll stare at hoshiko's chest, frowning.
It could.
> she almost offered to recreate the crime scene before realizing that may be a wee tad insensitive
>It might be yeah
…wait. If it was an explosion.
10:35 PM
wouldn’t we have heard it? I think this place has some weird ass acoustics.
Hmmm, that is true...
does it? let me test my bass
And yet...
>He's looks around, crossing his arms--- that. Kind of stings a bit but,
We've got all this mess around us.
it…I wouldn’t say it reminds me of a bathroom’s acoustics. But still…
Each new clue is more confusing than the last I fear. But surely, something must add up in the end, no?
> she's playing boom boom pow how is this helping
>He looks over their wounds.
... a bite, maybe...?It's got---
Oh I don't like that.
>for Owen, at least. He can't explain what's happened to Hoshi.….
10:37 PM
>hang on. He’s listening to how the song is playing in the room.
10:37 PM
…
>The music he means.
10:37 PM
A bite?
…
10:37 PM
>he's growling again, though it's more half hearted as he let's his head drop over hoshi's forehead again. just wanting to not pay attention to anything right now. 3........ 
... it looks like one wound, but a bite would if it went all the way through.
>hang on. He’s going to go to one of the other rooms.
10:38 PM
keep the song playing for a sec
Oh alright.
> she's blasting it dw
... Tama, I... don't think this is the time...
>Oh. that's her name.
>aren't you dating the guy who she's the eyeball for.>He'd admittedly tried to be respectful and not look at the wound for too long, but-
You think that perhaps we've been approaching this from too vague of a guess?
>
10:40 PM
>No?
> . . .10:40 PM
...Hm...
>
NOW PLAYING: bach's toccata and fugue in d minor>Can he look closer btw?
>yes but he will be watching like a hawk. haha. bird joke.>He’s testing something. Closes the door.
10:41 PM
…
10:41 PM
>walks back into the room.
10:41 PM
…
>don't ask daisuke he will growl if you get near hoshi right now.>alright! alright! he won't! geez
okay I’m pretty sure.
10:42 PM
we would’ve heard an explosion even if we were in different rooms.
Huh.....
... The wounds to his chest...
>he means hoshi's. They look like they were caused by something crushing his ribs.…
10:43 PM
well. I guess we wouldn’t have heard that then?
We would've.... surely.
You never heard a ribcage being broken?
10:43 PM
Shit's loud.
…
10:43 PM
not the only thing im crushing around here u know what i mean
>Tama.
never mind. I also don’t want to be reminded of that actually—
10:44 PM
well. This place could echo…
>... he notes that this kid would NOT survive the kind of combat he's been through.
1
1This place can echo..... but we didn't....
Is it possible to sound proof this place, do you think?
anything is possible if you know what you're doing.
>He uhhhhhh he fought monsters and Giant Monsters. Don’t ask.
10:45 PM
Well…
10:45 PM
You’d probably need sound proof material…heavy blankets, foam made for that…
True, that ought to be something someone should have noticed, if not the reaction itself.
10:45 PM
>He will just step back to look at the...rest of the evidence.
Ah, I found what might be a common factor? Not the leg itself exactly but...a missing limb more like.
hell, even plugging the bottom of doors could do the trick
...
>he's silent as he thinks about it.
We did hear Moros scream.
>and he did nothing.Interesting...
…could this also be a surprise attack…?
It's possible, but that'd still cause some yelling---
... That'd have to be a hell of a lot of force.
>... he should have been there. The others will visibly see him deflate a little.>Okay. he's looking at the fucking body. finally.
…
10:47 PM
>he’s not looking at the body. Sorry
.....
>He looks at the neck--- that didn't look like a bite......
hit it hard enough and there won't be time for screaming.
I guess...
>... He looks to Daisuke. Frowning in sympathy. Still saying nothing.or can't scream if your throat is. yknow. gone
>no words would make this better. He knows that first hand.That's... true.
…
10:48 PM
>he doesn’t like where this is going.
>---?!??!
Something that can sever...something that can crush...all while being silent...what could we possibly be meant to look for in this case?
>He jumps a little, actually!
mmm someone sexy i guess
>Gran's quick to just--- fidget with his sleeve after he calms down.
Don't scream like that, come on.. Tama!
…
10:50 PM
>weapons aren’t his thing.
10:50 PM
someone mentioned a complex weapon…?
... There's also a chance one was killed because they were a witness.
>He sort of trails off into a mumble.
... It was me. But all of mine are offline. It's a miracle my life support is still going.>... He looks to Daisuke. Frowning in sympathy. Still saying nothing.
>he can feel that stare, tilting his head a bit to look over before quickly hiding like his face again.like a...uh. yknow. one of those things.
I don’t know
... This place is used to perform maintenance on those machines, right?
10:50 PM
>not looking up.I'm guessing so.
…one of them yeah.
10:51 PM
I’ve seen some stuff. Looks like some kinda research place??
10:51 PM
there’s files and files on giant monsters
rube goldberg machine.
... Then our murder weapons are probably industrial tools.
oh those are easy enough to use its like point and click
Rube... goldber....?
>He's frowning
10:52 PM
Point and....
>he wants to stop talking now. but he can't until he's solved this. it's the least he can do.>He glances over just a little concerned, it was somewhat of a startling sound...
That would seem fitting to find in a place like this I imagine.
... Like an industrial press or hammer.
>His eyes glance to Hoshi's ribcage.10:53 PM
... And in there are all sorts of things in a workshop that can cut that cleanly.
I don’t see an industrial press but I think a hammer is more likely
10:53 PM
>shudders at the thought of Amelia’s hammer
and if you press down with something to dampen the sound...well, you just might not hear it
That... that is true....
10:54 PM
Then what about the first victim?
>Moros...well the screaming was kind of loud but yknow sometimes you just assume someone's having a good time. it can be so hard to tell
1I... I don't know...
I meant the--- the weapon. Not the screaming,
mmm i know what i would use~
That seemed more of a mix, did it not? At least, from what once could really...tell with what remained.
He's a Nasod. Anything's possible. I'm... sorry, I can't be of more help...
It's--- it's fine....
>He. Never got anyone's name .
10:55 PM
It's fine.
…
10:56 PM
>he has a thought but he cannot say it.
>He finally falls silent, just keeping his head down. Hold it in a little longer, Raven. You can break down when no one's watching.10:58 PM
>... Hold on.10:58 PM
>He looks up at Gran.... You've been acting weird.
10:59 PM
Really weird, actually.
>Gran frowns, tilting his head.
I've yelled at you before, and you didn't flinch. You laughed it off, actually.
11:00 PM
Told me that I didn't scare you.
> she's been pole dancing is that not odd—
>for tama? no.…
11:00 PM
Well, it can change right? Sometimes a person can be laughing it off one moment and the next.... flinch.
No, not with you.
it's a high stress situation.
You're a captain. It's your job to keep your cool in high stress.
>Inhale---
Even though we've been stuck in here for five days?
> she lets out a sigh.
>wait you guys know each other??
>He glances to Lobelia. Help him out, man-
Surely you've noticed something weird...?>Of course I know him?
look, maybe he's been acting a bit odd, but that's no reason to harp on him
>…is he the only person that doesn’t know anyone here?
>his left hand twitches.
My partner is dead.>he seems to finally lift his head up, though he's rather holding tight on the body, running fingers through dark hair.
I'm not blind...but I'm not stupid to say Hoshi's death was an explosion when a concave chest and cleanly sliced body parts don't do that. >his voice is quiet but it sure sounds cold.>He does have a raised brow, but overall he looks somewhat confused.
I would, but he seems the same as always. I can't imagine why you'd expect such a thing.
> another sigh.
11:05 PM
listen.
i thought you'd figure it out by now, but do i really have to spell it out for you?
11:05 PM
excessive force? machines? robot? remind you of anyone?
>Why are none of them taking him seriously?!
... Fine. I'll back off. On one condition. To... put an angry veteran's mind at ease, if that helps.>He's taking you seriously!!!
Understandable given everything. What would that be?
>Look man he’s not accusing you—
excessive force? machines? robot? remind you of anyone?
> she stands up to her whole 3 inch height.
11:07 PM
im sorry about your partner, but. uhhhhh.
> she laughs a bit, gesturing
it's me?
?
i wasn't kidding about the child's play thing.
11:08 PM
with my abilities it can be done remotely, so it's a bit of a snooze fest
Interesting.....
Well, there is a point to be made there. But then this doesn't seem to have moved.
11:10 PM
>He's gesturing to the big robot of course.
Yeah..., it's still got dust on it.
>He, honestly kind of ignores Tama. Sorry queen, he doesn't think it's you.
>He looks towards Gran, glaring intensely.
What the hell have you been hiding? Your arm's stiffer than it was yesterday.My arm's been fine.
In a situation like this, if you've been hurt you need to tell us.
…actually. You did seem kinda weird when I. Used my robotic arm…
like i couldn't put it back where i found it? but you're right. i can hack other things. and! make! porn!
... Tama. Stop it. You and I both know it wasn't you.
> she laughs again, shaking her head.
it's cute that you want to believe that.
11:13 PM
but alright, go ahead with your cute little theories. we'll see what happens, won't we?
>... he sighs.
Well, if that evidence points at you, it also points at me. But that's not what happened.......
11:13 PM
I have a question for you.
>...?>He's crossing his arms again--- drumming his fingers.
What is your name?
. . .
11:14 PM
You know my name.
I don't, actually.
11:15 PM
But you know of mine.
4We've talked before. Plenty of times.
11:15 PM
We had an arm wrestle when we met. Don't you recall?
>FOLDING HIS ARMS RIGHT ON BACK.........
11:15 PM
11:16 PM
No, I don't.
11:16 PM
Serious as all serious, I really don't recall.
11:16 PM
>He... seems geniune.
>. . .11:16 PM
>He raises an eyebrow.Hm?
...
>He raises a brow at the back and forth, concerned but curious.
>points to gran
11:18 PM
I’ve been with him the entire time
11:18 PM
We were eating snacks together too…
... And I've been with Tama.
>A nod.
>. . . slow turn.yeah big difference there is everything ive said about me being a computer 
but…
11:19 PM
…
11:19 PM
>looks at gran
11:19 PM
you were acting weird when I gripped your sleeve with my robotic arm. What’s up with that?
....
11:19 PM
>Gran lets out a sigh.
just because you're with my physical body...it doesn't mean anything
Shut it, you wouldn't have comforted me the same night you murdered my fiancee.
>whispered to Tama.heh...well, let's just say it's a great diversionary tactic, isn't it~?
11:21 PM
making people think about their feelings really doesn't let them think about anything else.
>he's quiet but looks up at lobelia hello.
I remember Hoshi telling me he's met with you before...
2
2…
11:21 PM
>quickly grips onto Gran’s sleeve with his robotic arm.
----!!!!!!!!
>he's also looking at lobelia. 
>OW
Dude i only grabbed your sleeve—
>He'll take his arm right back.
>Huffs.
You still grabbed.
…
11:22 PM
how bad does it hurt…?
That could be a possibility with robots, no?
>He turns to the quiet voice and the man staring at him.
Oui. We've spoken before. It's why seeing this happen is all the more terrible to wake up to.
...
>Debating. Thinking about how easily it would or would not be to rip that sleeve off. He's going to be SO Nonverbal after this is all over so help me.>Do it.
11:24 PM
>You fucking won't.
>yOU GOT IT BOSS.>Real shit?
That could be a possibility with robots, no? >He turns to the quiet voice and the man staring at him. Oui. We've spoken before....
>thankfully the claws on his left hand are very sharp. :) he's no longer looking at lobelia. he's going to just. grab that sleeve and pull on it. very suddenly.>!!!
11:25 PM
holy SHIT
11:26 PM
>Well, well, well, would you look at that.
11:26 PM
>Bloody bandages.

5. . .
Well, would you look at that.
>Yeah he's a furry what of it---
Who are you?
that's my little gran wym
I'm me. I'm Gran. Captain of the Grandcypher!
11:28 PM
Who are you.
>Recipes...hard to think about them when there's....everything else going on right now.
Ah! Pastries and the like, no? I do have a fondness for them an...
>He's glancing over to Gran now, surprise and worry on his face.
...ma chér...
im all that's left. or maybe, im all there ever was.
........
>Take one fucking guess.
>... He debates telling him, but isn't sure if he wants to or not.
... I'd reckon they're a bite wound.... I'm Commander Raven Cronwell. Class name Nova Imperator.
>...That name still doesn't ring a bell.
suddenly being with someone doesn't mean too much now does it?
> if she had fingernails. or even fingers. u know she would be going 
>There's no recognition in those eyes.
11:31 PM
>Thank you Tama---
>He turns to Tama, and kinda. Vaguely motions.
Fine. If you want me to believe you did it, prove it to me.…
11:32 PM
>he looks at javi
I realized...haven't there been some nights where Gran came by later than we did?>Prove to him that nothing good comes from a place like this.....
what, you want me to kill you or something?
>Tch.
11:32 PM
Cut it out.
>he looks at javi I realized...haven't there been some nights where Gran came by later than we did?
11:33 PM
actually…now that I think about it…
>He almost says yes. jeeze king that's depressing.11:33 PM
>He looks back to Gran.You're not killing, and you haven't been killing.
you wanna kill me then and prove me wrong?
.....You're too small to be killable, you realize that, right?
11:34 PM
>And not as satisfying.
okay. wow.
…
11:35 PM
>bro what the FUCK?> the lights on the giant robot behind her turn on and...oh that thing is moving. mecha pilot tama what will she do
actually…now that I think about it…
…
11:36 PM
i can’t remember…But last night…
honestly gran? you're kind of boring like this. a little cute in how...raw and unpolished you are. but boring.
Ah, perhaps out of respect for...
>He makes a motion toward the two who've fallen already with a genuine look of distress on his face seeing things escalate.
It may be better to avoid anything needless, no?
>god he wants to go home. 11:36 PM
>where’s his morpher when he needs it.
... Please.
>Gran makes a move to grab Tama, growling.
I said, cut it out.

1>he's lost two people he loves today-- hOLY SHIT->WHO?
do you really want me to squash you like a fucking bug you little brat?
2
2>He's grinning now.
Just maybe.
>oh that's not good.>he sort of, acts on instinct and puts himself between Tama and Gran.…
11:38 PM
What. Thé fuck is going on…?
> you'll also notice every time tama moves, the robot matches her movements
>TAMA?
11:39 PM
>He won't do anything of course.
Back down before I make you.
Then make her cut it out.
That was directed towards both of you.
> her voice seems to be coming from all over...from the speakers maybe? but it's an unnerving whisper.
scared little boy.
>More like a cornered wolf.
>tama you are very puntable rn don't tempt him.>He sighs, raising his hands and....
>snaps his fingers, a ghostly arm appearing to grip the legs of the robot in place.
Ahh. That's enough of all this, no?
.....!
-?!
-!!
Don't touch what's mine. That goes for all of you, yes? You won't like what happens if you do.

>to help him up>thank you, he'll gladly do so.>He's laughing, like that's the funniest joke in the world.
But of course! Why would I possibly care about the fates of a group of people I've never met?
>His gaze softens looking at Gran though, only a little less maddening.
Ma bête bien-aimée, I'm sorry to interrupt. Tower seems to have had enough of all this.

It's fine.
....
11:47 PM
>He'll make his way to Lobelia!
Never met--
>sorry javi he's gonna grab ya to place behind him.Oui, though it is rather fascinating that you seem to know either of us. It was fun to play along, I admit.
>He welcomes Gran with open arms.
Why? What a fascinating question. Mon cher prédateur, would you like to do the honors?
>okay well he’s being grabbed.
>he hasn't felt this angry in years.>Oh he's in Lobelia's arms now! Gran will let out a content sigh, all signs of anger out.
11:50 PM
Huh?
11:50 PM
Oh.
11:51 PM
Well...
11:53 PM
>There's a small smile.
Simply because I wanted to.
…
11:53 PM
-_- boring.
…hang on.
11:53 PM
let me get this straight
.....
>He stares at Tama.
you gathered all of us here and killed at least three people
11:54 PM
just because you wanted to?
?
11:54 PM
Gathered you?
11:54 PM
Now that part we didn't do. We woke up here just like all of you.
> . . .If I wanted a proper hunt, I would've used favorable terrain, not this unknown territory.
…
11:54 PM
>wait maybe he’s thinking wrong again. Good bye.
11:54 PM
>uh. sorry he's lost his sense of self control for a second he's going to LUNGE.>head in his hands.
>he stays quiet, but he's quietly pulling out a pocket knife, keeping it hidden behind him
(I might have to use this instead to channel things. Sorry Hoshi.) >he quietly mumbles to himself 2TOWER.
>Aren't they just the cutest pair? Look at how they hold each other!
Oui. That, and I'll at least clear up the confusion. You see, this truly is our first time meetin-
THE TOWER stirs, bringing down a heavy fist between the two of them and everyone else.
Ah... 2>Phew...!
11:59 PM
Thank you.
>STUMBLES BACK????
>WHAT IN THE FUCK.-
I'LL KILL THE BOTH OF YOU.>KNOCKED ON HIS ASS
Wrong. You won't.
>He's full on laughing now.
Though you are most certainly welcome to try!
> she's thinking.
>very difficult to keep his balance but he is very much doing soAnd here I wanted to have a dance if we continued..., oh well.
212:02 AM
>What'cha thinking tama.
> she's thinking that she should hit you with heavy machinery for funsies
>YOU PROMMY?
/Unfortunate that it seems we've run the course of this little game. Though it was fun while it lasted, the happiness such sounds gave me...ahh~ I am most grateful to have experienced them.
how many hands does that tower have? two, right?
>he's looking for _any_ way around to get to them. he's SO ANGRY.>Squint.
> turns to nova and the others.
you should probably leave.
…
12:04 AM
>He'll let go of Lobelia a little---
.....What's it to you?
I'm not going anywhere until they're dead!
well i just figured that. it might be able to stop...say...this.
> she makes something fall from the ceiling bro u better LEAVE
----!
>FUCKING SCRAMBLING?
>He's going to push Lobelia--- covering him on instinct.
> she'll give you another little scare with some more machinery. but uh. she's definitely moving that robot again in the background—
>BEEP BEEP. Core activated!
What-
ni. >a little floating ball with several spikes orbiting around it pops out of his shoulder, and creates a plasma shield above him. he actually thinks for a second and dives to share the protection with daisuke and javi.>oh he's putting up a quick shield for any falling debris but it def breaks after few hits--thankfully with nova coming in to shield the rest thank you!
My magic's practically nonexistent to channel right...if only i had my morpher
>he's just focused on keeping the shield up.>What he was going to say gets slightly cutoff at the sudden need to act both for himself and for gran, Tower successfully blocking the hit for Gran while *lightning crackles from his hands to take care of some of the hits to himself, though he isn't unscathed.
>he's looking at nova and talking quietly We have to go find an exit, she's buying us time.> she's still standing there, unprotected. the whole 3 inches.
12:11 AM
did you know?
12:11 AM
oh, well. you do. or you will. or you won't? it doesn't matter. you did at some point in time which may never exist for you.
Get to the point----!
i am a top secret government project, which means i come with a self destruct protocol. it's quite easy to access the coding, though i had to tweak it a little.
412:13 AM
if you all. catch. my. drift.
> RUN BITCHES
4>Wait he knows those words.
but it's quite easy to copy and paste it into the coding of something much bigger than myself. and simplify it.
Lobelia.
>He's clutching to him now.
If you've got any fun ideas in that beautiful genius head of yours, my flower, now's the time!
4>HE’S RUNNING
okay mr robot! do your thing!
> she looks. almost too cheerful to be dropping a giant robot on them.

5Hmmm, a dangerous threat to be certain for most. However, I doubt you truly know what you're up against.
>He does actually, and it's seen and not said as the arms of the tower surround them both.
Ah, ma belle bête. Have you forgotten the Tower has always protected us?
>Silly Gran. His eyes are a little too wild as he speaks though.
So! Do your worst, I welcome you to try!12:18 AM
> she turns around and puts on a tiny pair of sunglasses as the explosion goes off right on that bass drop.

>HE’S FUCKING RUNNING—oh god where’s the exit
>I GUESS WE'RE MAKING OUR OWN EXIT.> her voice is coming over the speakers again

>Finally, you can escape.
>Finally, you're free from the hunt carried out by the young captain and his magician.
>.....
>And what of them? Your predators?
>If you were to look back, even for just a moment--- the dust will clear. Revealing....
>Nothing but rubble. Rubble and bites of fire.
>Congratulations to our victors: RAVEN CRONWELL, JAVIER GARCIA, DAISUKE HINO, AND... TAMA!!!!!!!!
You've successfully found out the killers, and successfully escaped! 5
